My screen popped off my SS AW3 and the battery does not appear swollen. Before I replace it, (300+ to repair!), is it worth trying to glue it back? Where would I put the glue, in each corner?

TIA
 
I personally wouldn't recommend using superglue anywhere near an Apple Watch.

Also, the battery may not appear swollen, but it might still be and just is not obvious.

If the repair is $300 you'd be better off buying a new SE model for cheaper.
 
I would not do that, because your Apple Watch would be very sensitive to any water exposition as the waterproof seal would be gone. Buy a new or used watch, but don’t try to repair it if you’re not 100% sure what you do

If I try to repair it but do it badly Im no worse off than I am now.

however, Christmas is coming!
